Huh so, the cells aren't isolated instances but are in fact part of a contiguous planet. You can see New Atlantis from nearby cells.

They put invisible walls so... you don't get lost?
the new "see that city? you can walk to it"

but unironically

isn't that the case with every new game release?

pathetic lowlife youtube schmucks
I saw a youtube video that said like "Tamriel located in Starfield!?"

It was a 10 minute video where he thought a plant looked sorta like nirnroot and was basically like "NIRNROOT CONFIRMED" He "found it" on a main questline that is almost unmissable.

These faggots are literally playing the game for 2 hours then trying to get the jump on conspiracy theories and deep dives (most of it just their own head larp / SEO click baits).. typically we didn't see grifting like this until at least a few years of a beth game being out. It's so cringe. Disgusting leeches all fighting over the dwindling ad-sense scraps.

What other content is possible for Starfield?

"Here's how to do this epic questline: Mash E when appropriate. Sometimes fast travel to where the dot is. Also guys, this is very important, hold down W the whole time. People who get stuck, sometimes they don't hold W. Or maybe they do but they don't face towards the dot. Follow the dot guys, I can't stress this enough."

"Hey beautiful people, I have a great character build for you. For armor, we're going to go with anything. Then for gun, we go with something that uses 7.77 ammo because you guys, it's literally everywhere. Then for skills, we take rifle and ballistics. You will have so much ammo it's not even funny, and get this, we took the skills so you do more damage."

"This is how you romance Sarah you guys: take her on quests with you and don't shoot innocent people. Then guys, very important, when she says she wants to talk to you, do talk to her. And when the [Romance] option comes up, be sure to select that, not [Friendship], a lot of people make that mistake, but I got your back."

In part, sure, blame the "creators", but the real problem is the retarded audience who bought a game that is impossible to make interesting content for. Unless the objective is to shit on it, but even that gets old quickly because it's so easy to do.

As much as I hate to say it, the reddit guy has a point. I can't speak for every Beth youtuber, but most of the usual suspects are floundering in a Nile of shit at the moment.

Baldur's Gate 3 "Check this cool shit out!!!" video: If you go to this optional area and position your party thusly and move this big laser beam cannon and position the vampire companion there, he will have unique dialogue afterwards!

Starfield "Check this cool shit out!!!" video: If you do the main quest, there's a sniper rifle in this chest which does 10% more damage!

Lol on twitch Starfield has 2.9k viewers, while for BG3 it's 20.5k.
On steam the ratio is ~1 to 2.
I guess everyone is busy building an outpost, or dildo shaped ship.

It will get worse; Diablo IV lost >99.9% of its viewers in 4 months. It peaked just shy of a million at launch and there are ~700 people watching it right now.

You could say that peddlers of uninspired dogshit will eventually get their comeuppance, but both Starfield and Diablo sold well at launch, which is where most of the money is made.

Diablo was created as a service game that was supposed to generate money for many years, and considering that they are already putting it on Steam, it is not good for the game.

As for Starfield, they didn't make that much money because of the gamepass. Activity on Steam was pitifully low, which means that most people played on gamepass.
If it was bad on Steam, it's unlikely that Xbox would be better, especially since the console version has no advantages over the gamepass (mod).
For Bethesda, the situation is so bad that if they don't replace the engine quickly enough, each of their games will fall further and further behind new games, which has never ended well for anyone in the long run.

Retarded opinion

You're confusing "motion capture" with "engine"

Cyberjunk mo-cap wouldn't work in a Bethesda game, there are too many characters and they walk around

Next time you play Cyberjunk, take note how most dialogues happen over the phone, and the few that are in person are highly scripted and restrictive.

Where did I mention the animations at least once (they're shitty but it doesn't matter)?

The shitty engine can't render the terrain fast enough if the player is moving too fast, which is why we don't have any vehicles in Bethesda games.
Why do you think there is no space travel in the game and instead we have a fast travel festival? In this aspect, the game is literally worse than ME which didn't even try to be an exploration game. .
The loading screen that pops up every few moments is also not a standard in games for years.
There were a lot of comparisons mocking the constant loading times in Starfield.
I won't even mention the graphics because it's mainly Bethesda's incompetence, not the engine's.

Bethesda is literally over 10 years behind any competition and it's only going to get worse.

No, you have it the wrong way around.

Bethesda makes abbreviated areas that don't need vehicles to get around

No, that's not why

Stop exaggerating

Don't buy into the youtube clickbait cringelord shit

I won't even mention the graphics because it's mainly Bethesda's incompetence, not the engine's.
The graphics and visual style in Starfield is much better than Cyberpunk or BG3
